I have tried three times to get Le Baron Bonney respond to my desire to convert my 1930 CCPU to a deluxe interior, including a headliner.

No answers. Maybe they don't know how, but one would expect at least a "no."

Anyone know of a contact there who might know something about the conversion? I may be expecting too much, but LB has been around for a long time. Thoughts?

Find a local auto upholster and ask him if he or she will do what you seek. If yes, ask if you can supply the fabric. If yes, buy the raw material from LB and take it to your upholsterer with clear instructions for what you want done.

Find a good upholster in your area and between you and him...do it yourself.

I hear ya..

When I did Model A number one, I found a way to do it all. I was not too old then.

Now, ole Dad is 84 working on Number three. Yes, there will be some that will say I'm too old to do another one. BS.

I usually like Plucks comments, but now I want (need) others to help.

Hope ya understand..

I find that happens quite often.

I find that I oftentimes have to contact LB several times to get an answer. For instance, I sent an eMail message to them about 5 months ago. Finally after getting no response, called them about a month ago. Then last week I got an eMail "I just found this and wondered if anyone had responded" Duhhhhhh.

Pick up the phone and call them?? There's also "snail" mail.

Just order a Deluxe coupe sample package from them if they still provide them, as far as I know you just need a domelight and they may sell that and the wood framing to mount it. You also need the cowl lights if You don't have them to make it a Deluxe.
